The Peoria Park District has designated Vicary Bottoms, (a section of property off Kickapoo Creek Road, north of Farmington Road) as a dog exercise area. It is highly recommended that this area be used only by well-trained dogs and their handlers as this area is not fenced. A complete list of rules is posted at the site, but here are some general guidelines:

  • Dogs must be accompanied by an owner or handler at all times and owners may bring no more than two dogs per person per visit.
  • Owners are responsible for the behavior of their dogs and shall be held solely responsible for any injuries or damage caused by their dogs.
  • Owners shall carry a leash at all times, and dogs must be leashed when entering and leaving the park.
  • Owners must pick up and properly dispose of their dog’s feces. Bags and a trash can are available.
  • Dogs must be currently vaccinated against rabies, legally licensed, and wearing county rabies vaccination identification tags at all times.
  • For safety reasons, children must be ten (10) years of age to use the park, and must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
  • There are no facilities at Vicary Bottoms, so owners may also wish to bring water for their dogs.
